Patented Aug. 1, 1905.

Application led June 12, 1903. Serial No. 161,222.

.'0 00M 1.0111071?, it may concern:

Be it known that I, PETER FEHREN'IZ, a citi- Zen of the United States, residing at Vinemont, in the county of Cullman and State of Alabama, have invented new and useful Improvements in Plow-Stocks, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to plow-stocks; and the object of the same is to construct a doublepony turning plow-stock without a wheel or wheels. f

The simple and novel construction employed by me in carrying out my invention is fully described and claimed in this specication and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, forming a part thereof, in which- Figure 1 is a perspective view of my double Fig. 2 is a plan view of the stock. Fig. 3 is a transverse section on the line 3 3, Fig. 2.

Like numerals of reference designate like parts in thedifferent views of the drawings. rl"he numeral 1 designates the center main beam of my plow bearing a clevis on its forward end for use in hitching a team thereon.

The beam 1 is mounted intermediate two side beams 2, which parallel the rear portion of the lbeam 1 for about one-third to one-half of its length and extend beyond the rear end thereof for about one-third of theirlengths. Spacing-blocks 3, formed from short lengths of scantling having broad flat ends, are interposed between the beams 1 and 2 and are apervtured to accommodate drift-bolts 4. Braces 5 are secured to the forward ends of the beams 2 and are attached to the center of the beam 1.

Plows are provided herein, one having its standards 7 suitably secured to the right-hand beam 2 to permit said plow to extend almost wholly forward of said beam and the other plow having its standards 7 suitably secured to the left-hand beam 2 tov allow the point of said plow to occupy a position laterally opposite to the heel end of the aforesaid plow, while both of said plows are adapted to cut or be effective in the same generaldirection, the purpose of which, as is apparent, being increased working capacity.

Handles 9 and 1Q are attached to the rear ends of the beams 2 to serve to operate the machine. The handle 9 is provided with a brace 11; but the handle 10 extends down and is connected at its lower end to the standard 8.

The spacing-blocks 3 on the draft rods or bolts L are important in the construction in connection with the draft-beam, plow-carrying beams, and draft-rods, since the said spacing-blocks have broad endsand provide a substantial bracing and stiffening means to the entire frame. One serious trouble with a plowframe of the kind` to which'this invention be- -longs is that its severe torsional strain to which Afore important that the frame should be kept rigid and stiif, so`that it may be eiiiciently guided by the handles. For the reasons stated I lay stress upon the spacing-blocks and their connections, arranged as shown, in my invention.

This construction forms a light and strong double plow of great rigidity, strength, and durability.

I do not wish to be limited as todetails of construction, as these may be modified in many particulars without departing from the spirit of my invention.

VHaving thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to s'ecure by Letters Patent, is-

The combination of the center main beam bearing a clevis o n its forward end for use .in hitching a team thereon, two side beams which parallel the rear portion of the main beam for about one-third to one-half its length and extend beyond the rear thereof for about onethird of their lengths, apertured spacingblocks formed from short lengths of scantling having broad flat ends interposed between the main and parallel beams, draft-bolts passing through the said spacing-blocks and beams, braces secured to the forward ends of the parallel beams and attached to the main beam, a

plow having standards rigidly secured to the forward end of the right-side beam, and another plow bearing a standard rigidly secured to the left-side beam, handles attached to the rear ends of the said side beams, the right handle being provided with a brace,. and the left handle extending'down and being connected to the standard of the left plow.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of two subscribing witnesses.
